Suwanee, GA
Providence Christian Academy at Johns Creek
Activities & Involvement:
When I was 11 years old, I started my foundation, 20/20 Hearing, with a mission to give the gift of hearing and ensure the right to communicate. When I was 16, I founded Round Town, a home services provider. I played lacrosse from when I was 10 years old to 17. Since then I have been doing competitive MMA. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my friends and go on random adventures.
Honors & Achievements:
Through 20/20 Hearing, we have been able to financially support hundreds of families across the U.S. so their children can have the hearing care they need. In addition, I have been able to give the gift of hearing to thousands of people on 15 global hearing missions in 10 countries. Through 20/20 Hearing, I’ve been blessed to help thousands of people receive the gift of hearing, raise awareness through speaking engagements across the country, including the United Nations, and partner with Let Georgia Hear to fight to pass a law in Georgia, mandating insurance coverage for children’s hearing care.
Through Round Town, I grew the business to include 20 part-time employees serving residential and commercial properties across north Atlanta.
Georgia Tech Dean’s Scholar, Equitable Excellence Scholar, Coke Scholar.
Future Plans:
I plan to go to Georgia Tech to study Entrepreneurship. I plan to start a company at their start-up incubator, The ATDC. I want to spend my life building companies and foundations dedicated to serving others and improving the quality of life for everyone around the world.
Proudest Moments:
I am most proud that I have been blessed to serve thousands around the world by giving the gift of hearing to those who need it most. I am also proud that I have personally been able to experience seeing someone hear for the first time and see them light up as they look around and hear their mom, dad, son, daughter, grandparents, and friends for the first time. It is amazing to see these lives change.
Thank you, Jack, for helping to pass our GA law and for all your work with children’s hearing care around the world. Best of luck in college and beyond although you did pick Tech instead of UGA!
